Editorial

Our editorial services are available to self-publishers or publishing companies in tandem with our printing and binding services or as a stand-alone service.

We recommend that before committing to print each and every self-publisher should get a second opinion on their text to identify grammatical errors, historical errors, repetition and inconsistencies of all types whether this service be carried out by Tandem Press or a third party.

In addition our Word Audit service will help identify texts that are often longer than they need be to help you save on paper costs.

Proofing

After the typeset stage has been completed, you will be presented with a proof copy in either printed or PDF format as required. It will be your responsibility to proof and edit this version comprehensively.

Standard industry proofing terminology need not be used although this would be welcome. However clarity is important and to avoid ambiguity explanatory notes should be included.

Proofs can be returned by post, or corrections can be listed in an email or annotated in the proof PDF.

Once the proofed version is returned to TandemPress corrections will be made and a final printed version returned to you. The book printing process will begin once the final signed-off proof copy is received by TandemPress.

The proofing process may take more than one cycle as outlined above, however it must be remembered that TandemPress guarantees production timescales only from the moment of receipt of the final signed-off proof.

If you are a self-publisher and feel you need a second or third opinion on any aspect of your publication TandemPress imposes no restrictions on the duplication of the proof-copy, provided that it is used solely for the purpose of proofing.

Please note that, to avoid potential ambiguity, TandemPress will only acknowledge one proof-copy at a time for correction.
